    Well, I went to the doc today and got my biopsy results back. Its a stage 3 cancer, and the chemo will start in 2-3 weeks. This doesn't work out so well for me with the tour plans, but I'm buying tix for the Cleveland show at least on Leg 1. I hope I'll be able to meet some of you there. I should be easy to find ... I'll be the bald lady in the front row :)

    I wish I wasn't the first one to reply to this....

    no response = sadness & tears.

    It really makes me mad...with all the shit going on in this world...

    We're thinking about going to Cleveland and we'd love to meet you!!!

    Of course, we won't be in the front row but we'll know where to find ya.

    Please keep me (and others) posted...

    I wish I could hug you right now. :(

    It does sound a bit daunting, foreboding being in stage 3, and it is, however there are some positives in your favor, Laura my dear. I don't need to go over them all here with you, however there is one I need to point out: you've got the Pearl Jam nation on your side! :)

    I dedicate this song to you Laura. It just says it a lot better than I ever could. :)

    Audioslave - Dandelion

    Settle down now and sit with me
    Let me tell you how this all came to be
    A yellow flower with your petals to the air
    And flying on paper wings that brought you here
    Summer rolls on in the lazy hours
    An ether dream way
    Of hummingbirds and clouds
    Midnight swims in the cool back waves
    And you in my arms as it rolls away

    Little dandelion
    Let your heart keep time
    Now the clouds are gone
    All of your tomorrows shine
    Oh oh
    All of your tomorrows shine
    Oh oh
    All of your tomorrows shine

    Born of restless night the moon as a pearl
    Playing games down inside your soft warm world
    Hear my voice I know that you can
    You're the fire in my eyes
    The sun as a man
    Seasons come along and seasons go
    And what they'll leave behind
    I don't pretend to know
    I'm afraid that all I have missed
    Will loom very large when the darkness lifts

    Little dandelion
    Let your heart keep time
    Now the clouds are gone
    All of your tomorrows shine
    All of your tomorrows shine
    All of your tomorrows shine

    The Moving Train will ride by your side
    Wherever you go
    We won't run We won't hide
    Just letting you know

    Little dandelion
    Let your heart keep time
    Now the clouds are gone
    All of your tomorrows shine
    All of your tomorrows shine
    All of your tomorrows shine
    All of your tomorrows shine
    All of your tomorrows shine
    All of your tomorrows shine

    Ah Laura... best wishes to you.
    I'll squint from the nosebleeds in Cleveland to catch you in first row :)

    And seriously, just let us know if we can do anything for you.
    It would be a great honor :)
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    I agree completely. If you start thinking it's the end of the world, well then it will be. Laura I'm soooo sorry to hear this :( . I'm sure it's pretty scary at the moment but you're strong enough to get through this and we're all here to help you in whatever way we can.

    Hippiemom, I don't know you but, just like everybody else here, I really want you to overcome this thing and go to a PJ show where you can be in the front with Eddie and Stone! It's cool to see a community of PJ fans who support you so much... have fun at the show.

    I don't think Hippiemom was able to get tickets, if I read correctly earlier. Hopefully, someone will hook her up with some, or she can get them from TM. :(

    I hope I didn't embarrass you, hippiemom, but I emailed10c about you.

    I asked them to please give the Cleveland tickets to you... :o

    There also will be people who can't make it to the show for some reason and they usually post it in the Porch.

    That is what I am going to look for, too - in case the TM system didn't do justice for me.

    You WILL go to this show, Laura. :)

    You guys are too sweet :)

    I did get shut out from the Cleveland show, which sorta sucks because it's the only one my daughter can go to because the others are on school nights and out of town, and I already let her miss school to go to the London show last September, but when I couldn't get them I went ahead and bought tickets for Detroit, so I will see at least one show this tour. I'm a little worried about my energy level for driving to Detroit and then going to the show, since I'll be doing the chemo then, but I'll figure something out ... go up the day before or something. And there's always lots and lots of espresso, that works too :D

    And like you mentioned, there will be people who can't go for one reason or another, I'm still hopeful that I'll get in somehow without having to resort to Ticketfuckers .... I really hate those guys, I always avoid using them when I can, but I don't think these tix will be available at the arena box office.

    We'll see ... if I'm meant to be there, I'll be there. If not, I'll see you in the Motor City, and my silly bald head won't stop me from enjoying it thoroughly :)

    I absolutely LOVE thhis attitude! :)

    Also, I've known women who have undergone chemotherapy and lost their hair. I've noticed that when it grows back, its absolutely beautiful. :):)

    Hey, I got Detroit tix too!!!
    Try to plan the treatments so the day of the show will be one of your better days.
    Yeah, we are going to rock out the palace!!!
    Woot!!!
    I hope you feel good all the time, but especially long enough to enjoy the show!!!
    You know, I seem healthy when people just look at me, but I have this whole set of issues when I go to a show or anything like that. Sound and lights trigger my seizures..I use earplugs and sunglasses sometimes. I have huge energy problems...and I sit when I feel I need to.
    To hell with what anyone around me thinks...I am not going to let my illness stop me from enjoying what I want.

    It all good!!!
    See you in May!!!
    Save room for dessert!
